Example 1: GPT-3 is a decent chatbot. Training a similar model so you can have a conversation with AIs in the "metaverse" (god, that word is terrible) could be fun / useful.
Example 2: Using AI upscaling (like Nvidia) to improve visual fidelity in games.
Example 3: Hand/body tracking for avatars.
The more AI compute, the more experimentation researchers can do.

#33How far can we actually take current machine learning technologies by scaling the underlying hardware? Are we going to see some AI algorithms that are 20% better or an order of magnitude better? And what will that realistically look like to an end user? This will have cost a lot of money and maybe the news alone will push stock prices and mean its paid for itself but is it actually going to result in a substantially…

For one, real-time avatars make heavy use of “AI processing”. https://research.facebook.com/videos/audio-and-gaze-driven-f...

Zuck has vision, especially for what people will want to use. I am looking forward to what FB comes up with here.

I think there are plenty of possibilities:
- 3d worlds with style transfer on the textures, like maybe there's a cafe with the visual style of Starry Night or something
- NPCs with conversation models that are finetuned for each NPC's personality and saves some history for each person it talks to for continuity
- Game-playing AI on NPCs that make them go around doing actual things or playing minigames with players
- The usual user tracking models, figuring out what people like to do in the metaverse and giving them more of that
- All the lower-level stuff that AI can do better - user inputs, rendering, etc.
Whether or not they can pull it off is a separate question - I think the tech is close but not quite there yet - but there's no doubt that the metaverse concept of "an expansive virtual world with lots of fun things to do" has many ways to use huge amounts of computation.

#38it feels like the future of companies is to increasingly give tasks to AI. So eventually we'll have massive corps that have a couple execs and a super ai making them all obscenely rich?
I want to hate this idea, but it would be the same as hating machines replacing manual labor over the last 100 years.
im not sure what to think, nor how to prepare myself for the next 20 years.

If computer vision falls under AI then its pretty obvious why it would help with AR and world sensing.

#40I used to work at a university where my professor had been in automatic speech recognition for a long time, but basically gave up on that line of research about 10 years ago because he figured that universities simply cannot compete budget wise with the big industry players.
I suppose the same will soon be true for most ML-related areas of research sooner or later, at least as far as applied ML is concerned.
Already, a substantial amount of research innovation in NLP and CV has been coming from big companies in recent years.
Of course there is a discussion to be had about what that means for society at large. At this point, a lot of said companies to publish their results at conferences etc. But what if at some point they decide to be as "open" as OpenAI (ie., not)?
